I am recalling a debate where someone was arguing that it's just as good to lift light as lift heavy. I had a problem with this because it wasn't defined what was meant by "lifting light."

This article made me think of it because this guy is lifting 50% of his ORM... is that what we mean by "light"?? because this dudes ORM is over 1000 lbs, so his light is over 2 x's my heavy!

So what do you think it means to lift "light"??

    try Tabata style lifting. You lift SIGNIFICANTLY less, but it will beat your Azzz down!

    tabata lifting sounds like hell on earth!

    haha!

    I have done bear complexes and I tend to try to do them fast (with 65#)... would that be tabata?
